Did you know...
The Manti-La Sal National Forest stretches from central Utah to southeastern Utah and into Colorado. The 1,413,111-acre forest is managed for multiple uses such as range, timber, minerals, water, wildlife, and recreation. Manti-La Sal is made up of three primary land areas: the Manti Division, the La Sal Division at Moab, and the La Sal Division at Monticello. Today the forest offers people a retreat from the hurry of modern life. Those who seek solitude and quiet can find it here. Intrepid adventurers will discover mountains to scale, trails to explore, waters to fish, and woods where they can hunt. Scenic byways and backways summon motorists looking for stunning vistas, and abundant camping areas are perfect for creating family traditions. Please check our Alerts and Notifications and Incident Information before recreating in the Forest. Forests implement closures and important notifications at various times for your safety.

Forest Plan Revision Information:
To assist in achieving a well-managed, multiple-use forest, the Manti-La Sal is updating its Land and Resource Management Plan, or forest plan, to provide a vision of the Manti-La Sal's future. The future envisioned in the 1986 forest plan–the current forest plan–has become the present we all experience today. Some of its guidance is still relevant, but much has changed and needs updating to remain relevant and applicable today. The revised forest plan seeks to balance social, economic, and environmental concerns by providing a vision for future management decisions about the forest. We need your help; together we can guide the next 20 years for the Manti-La Sal.
